Background

In M41 the Terror Tigers suffered major casualties after their Homeworld was invaded by the forces of a Mutant Warlord. After a hard fought battle, the Terror Tigers defeated the Warlord, but they had lost almost two-and a half Companies worth of their Chapter to the Mutant's forces. When he saw how ravaged his Chapter was left after their victory, the Terror Tigers' Chapter Master ordered his own execution, for his failures in dealing with the invasion. Later, when the Chapter received a desperate message from one of their exploration teams, before it was destroyed by the Eldar on the newly rediscovered Imperium world Hannibal; the Terror Tigers were still too undermanned, to send forces to defend the world. Instead, it fell to the Company of the Imperial FistsCaptainLexandro D'Arquebus, to aid Hannibal and avenge the deaths of the Terror Tigers' exploration team.[1]
